"Fujitsu PRIMEFLEX® vShape is an all-inclusive package with no hidden extras that is easy to deploy and support and by far the most reliable and dependable part of our infrastructure"

Jonathan Challis,
National Systems Administrator, CRFCA

The customer

Established in 1908, the Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Associations (RFCAs) were originally formed to provide local support to the Territorial Force in every UK county. Over 100 years later the name has changed, the number of associations has reduced and the RFCA dependency has grown to provide administrative support to the reservists and cadets of all three armed services.

The challenge

The CRFCA needed to upgrade its existing server infrastructure as the number of users had increased from 100 locally to 800 nationally.

The solution

Working with long-time partner ABS IT Services, the CRFCA deployed Fujitsu PRIMEFLEX® vShape, a combined server, storage and virtualisation solution.

The benefit

Stable, scalable and secure platform which can support further growth at one fixed price

Simple migration of existing system without disrupting day-to-day operations

Boasts the best in stability and has not presented any issues in its first six months

Reduced hardware incidents results in an improved user experience

Frees up the IT team to focus resources on more strategic business objectives
